Why do yous think its an issue he's talkin to RTE, isnt it that Tyrone players arent talking to them and since he isnt a Tyrone player then I guess he can talk to whoever he feels?Do people still expect Cavanagh not to play in starred fixtures next season aswel

Firstly i don't think its an issue that he's talking to RTE - I just think that the rhetoric that Harte uses saying the players are free to talk to RTE if they want is bullshit - obviously theres a fear factor involved and Cavanagh (rightly in my opinion) talked immediately to them after his retirement.

Secondly my main point was that I sense an under tone in Cavanaghs interview here that Tyrone had no plan B and where beaten by a shrewder manager - hardly something you would expect from departing captain so soon after a very embarrassing defeat, particularly when the manager has said the system won't change.

But maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Good Luck to Mickey I hope he changes the system but it was Einstein who said:

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result!

Boys ultimately we don't have the forwards to compete with Dublin. I saw Conall McCann and Mark Bradley playing against a team up from intermediate at the weekend and they were shocking. That's 2 of our starting 15 against the dubs.

I would agree with this, you still need top forwards to win All Irelands and currently they dont exist in Tyrone. Im not sure where the really next top, match winning forward/s in Tyrone are coming from. We seem to have abundances of running half forward types but very little options for the full forward line. Until we unearth some forwards who can be considered to be amongst the best in Ireland, then All Ireland glory will be out of our reach. Forwards win matches.

Forwards playing as forwards not corner backs win matches. Tyrone forward line are not allowed to play as attacking first players.

Jeasus wept you men chat some shite!Would love to know what you have ever managed in your lives. Harte is Tyrones most successful manager ever and I guarantee will never be equaled. I have no doubt your shite is based on personal reasons and I wonder did Mickey not pick you as a minor? Did he drop you as an U21? Would he not sign your wee jersey? Is he the reason your cub's not a 3 time all star? Catch a grip tyrone are competing with the best in Ireland their set up and preparation are right up there. His job is a thankless one (thanks to clampets like you) it is a full time commitment 24/7. Now who in under jeasus else is there out there who is 1) capable enough 2) willing 3) any better 4) able to walk away from their job/family/life and most importantly could make an actual difference? Yes Harteis performance should be held up to scrutiny and be reviewed....... but not by gobshites like you who's greatest input into Tyrone football is to make anonymous posts on the internet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How are we going to unearth a really top class full forward if we continue to use this defensive style of play particularly when it's also being used by the development squads..

Don't you understand that to "to compete with the best" you dont need to develope forwards apparently the opposition are to be convinced to stick the ball over their own bar to placate the mickey fan club on this interenet form. Anyone who dares question his methods

1. Dose not have a clue2. never played the game3. has not been picked by mickey4. has had a relative who has not been picked by mickey5. has never managed a team in their lives6. has personel issues with mickey.

or possibly are a little feed up with paying good money to watch their county being beaten out the gate while "competing with the best" because our great leader has decided we dont need to play with a forward line which contains players who might actually threaten the opposition goals and plays a system that does not require you to defend a deficit. Time a few people woke up and smelled the coffee or is that a hint of gravy in the air ?

The vast majority of clubs in this county voted for Harte to stay so Bill, go you along to your local club meeting (I don't know who it is but they probably voted for Harte to stay) and tell them that you are sick of paying a few pounds to go and watch Tyrone play and that they need to wake up and smell the coffee because you believe Mickey Harte tactics are wrong. Tell them how pissed off you are and demand that they to listen to you and next time the vote for Mickey to leave comes up they should follow your advice. There's no point venting on here, nobody on here can make a difference but I'm sure, once they work out who you are, the lads in your local club will be glad to hear what you have to say.

Serious amount of canvassing done in this area to keep Mickey by a local county board club delegate and ex fixtures chairman.....

Benny what makes you so sure that I havent already expressed my opinion to club representatives already. It is not as if my opinions are like a voice in the wilderness. In the recent week I have spoken to many people within my own club and neighbouring clubs and I am not detecting any great support for the decision made. If anything a lot of people are far from happy about the lack of consultation with grass route members and fact it was 3 years the general feeling is that the vote taken was far from representative. You can make the argument that if people are not happy they can storm the bastille and change the county board make up. Not likely to happen. what is already happening and most likely to esculate is that people will vote with their feet and stop attending county matches. I am already seeing it at club level that the Derry problem of advising young players to avoid county call ups is becoming more of an issue. A sad state off affairs but sure hey people get what they vote for...........and anyone who is unhappy needs to shut up and get on with it.

Not technically true, vast majority of club delegates voted for Harte to stay. It was proposed on the night that the delegates be allowed to go back and discuss with their clubs, that was overturned with a counter proposal that it be decided there and then.

Yes but clubs were aware the vote was coming so should have got an answer before that night.

The bottom line is the vast majority of people in tyrone think its the right answer. You want to do something get involved in your club and get your club to bring forward a motion to put him out.

But you and every club knew this decision was coming up. If you voiced this at your club meeting and had the groundswell of support that you say is there, then how did your club not vote to get Mickey out? I'm genuinely intrigued how such vociferous people online, some claiming mutiny in the streets, fail so miserably to get their very loud voices heard within their clubs.

Sounds to me that a few delegates in one camp had their homework very well done and knew they had a better chance providing it did not go back to the clubs. Very well managed from their point of view but at what cost ?

I really hope that they are right and that it is in the interest of Tyrone and I am sure that is the view they hold.

I do think the process of appointing the county manager needs to be reviewed. Either it is a decision for an appointments committee or it is at the descretion of the clubs. If it is the later then the clubs must by right be given the time and the details of the proposal well in advance of a vote so that they may express an informed view. Not for proposals to be foisted on club delagates with out the option of referral to their club.
